The following health alternatives offer a choice for parents and students. Students must pass all course work in
health in order to earn health credits. Alternatives and waivers will be approved by the principal. Any appeal of
a principal’s decision will be referred to the Director of Secondary Education. Students must have a signed
positive parent permission to participate in the basic program and two alternatives.

out of part of the Base Program or the entire health
